Welcome. the 7900 is a solid radio. you might look at the 8800 or the 8900 which have a dual receiver so you can monitor a simplex channel and a repeater like the colorado connection. This is handy so you don't have to flip back and forth.

you'll also need to hit up gamiviti.com for a mic holder and antenna mount
